Fujio Yamaguchi / PRIVATE CASSETTE (LP)

The second in Yamaguchi Fujio's three-month consecutive release series!
Fujio Yamaguchi's only acoustic work, "PRIVATE CASSETTE," was released only on cassette tape in 1986. Now, it's being released on vinyl for the first time, with a new remaster from the original master!

This work was released only on cassette tape in 1986. It is the only acoustic album recorded at the Tumblings studio in Koenji, Tokyo at the time. Co-produced with Chico Hige (ex. Friction), it was recorded with a minimal lineup of Fujio on acoustic guitar and vocals, and Hige on percussion. Mixing was done by Ginny Murasaki (ex. Kobayashi Koppe), an old friend of Fujio's.
Shinichi Aoki (Tumblings/TEARDROPS) plays guitar on "Kiteki ga," and the final track on side B, "STONE," is a psychedelic 20-minute number created in a session with Ao Someya, who was also an early member of Murahachibu.
The remastering was done by Nakamura Soichiro (Peace Music), and the cutting was done by master engineer Shigeru Takezawa, known as one of Japan's leading engineers.

● Comes with a lyric card handwritten by Fujio himself ● As a special bonus for those who preorder or purchase the first shipment, this work will come with a card that reproduces the index from the original cassette release. ※ See second image
